It's an interesting series and shows something I wish they'd do more in Wars and that's to get away from the central cast and just do things with other characters. The setting is certainly large enough.

Problem is that SW generally lacks scope and scale. So breaking away from the main cast would ruin their importance since the cast is supposed to be the only ones really making a difference. Thats the difference between SW/ST and 40k/DocWho.

Huh? Deep, have you taken a look at the Death Star recently? Or Coruscant? Or thought about the term Galactic Empire? Sure, Wars tends to concentrate on the actions of a small group of individuals, but it's got fantastic scope and scale behind it.

I'd lump Who into the first category. Sure, the possibilities for settings are literally endless, but the stories themselves are heavily focused on a small group of characters, more so even than Wars.

Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe: Albert Einstein.

I was referring to the characters.

With Doctor Who there has always been information about the larger scale. The Doctor's refer to others taking part in grander things. The imagined scaled is reinforced by the characters even if the show doesn't show them. Much like DS9 did in the Dominion War.

Wars is the same - there may only be a few characters' actions directly depicted, but they're determining the fate of the galaxy.
